ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Partnership began offering for sale limited partnership units in October
1987. On August 29, 1988, the Partnership reached its minimum offering level of
$1,200,000 and funds were released from escrow, to the Partnership. The
Partnership sold units throughout the remainder of 1988, and had raised
$1,362,000 in gross proceeds or $1,219,262 net of syndication costs and sales
commissions as of December 31, 1988. As of December 31, 1989, gross proceeds
from sales of partnership units totaled $2,061,000 or $1,823,953 net of
syndication costs and sales commissions.
In reading the discussion of operations, the reader should understand that
the Partnership has a 100% interest in an office building in Santa Ana,
California, and a 10% interest in a commercial building in San Marcos,
California. The results of the Partnership's operations have been dominated by
the results of operations for the Santa Ana building; thus, the discussion of
the Partnership's results of operations will emphasize the operations of that
building.
Due to the recurring losses from operations and a net capital deficiency of
$800,058 at December 31, 1995, the Partnership's independent certified public
accountants have included an explanatory paragraph in their report stating that
these factors raise substantial doubt as to Partnership ability to continue as a
going concern.
From 1992 to 1994, the overall operations of the Partnership gradually
improved; however, the Partnership continued to generate unacceptable net losses
and negative cash flows. (These negative cash flows first started appearing in
calendar 1991). For example, the net loss for 1993 of $123,357 was $17,737
(13%) less than the $141,094 net loss for 1992, while the negative cash flow
(net loss excluding depreciation and amortization) dropped from $70,738 to
$54,276--a $16,462 (23%) decrease. Progress continued in 1994, with the net
loss of $115,143 that year being $8,214 (7%) less than that for 1993, and the
negative cash flow dropping to $47,779--a $6,497 (12%) decrease from 1993's
level. Despite these improvements, the fact remained that the Partnership's
operations were still insufficient to support the Company without cooperation
from the General Partner in deferring collection of various management fees,
interest expense, and overhead cost allocations.
The property tax installment that was due April 15, 1995 was paid on June 29,
1995. The amount paid was $9,896.71, which included a penalty of $908.97. The
property tax installment due November 10, 1995 ($8,987.74) was made on a timely
basis.
<PAGE>
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS(CONT.)
As of December 31, 1995, the amount payable to the General Partner and its
affiliates for deferred fees, overhead expense allocations, cash advances, and
interest on those advances, was $240,095.
The Partnership intends to sell the Santa Ana property when conditions, at
a minimum, would result in the full payment of the outstanding debt on the
property. At this time, those conditions are not being met.
1995 was a turning point in terms of the viability of the Partnership.
Although the general economy in which the Santa Ana building is located was
generally poor from 1990 to 1994, the operations of the Partnership's building
were still somewhat stable (if not overly profitable) as explained above.
However, in December of 1994, the County of Orange (in which the Santa Ana
Building is located) declared bankruptcy due to large losses in connection with
unauthorized derivative and bond investment activity. The County's problems had
a trickle down effect on the entire area as a large number of small businesses
dependent upon County purchases went out of business or moved away. This put
further pressure on all commercial property owners to further lower rents to
attract or retain tenants. The Partnership saw the negative cash flow
situation on the Santa Ana building worsen as a result of these problems. On
July 31, 1995, at the Partnership's request, the holder of the first deed of
trust on the Santa Ana property agreed to provide relief to the Partnership by
deferring collection of debt payments due on the loan for September 1995 to
January 1996. The General Partner used this opportunity to improve the
liquidity of the Partnership, and to allow for the implementation of necessary
capital improvements to the Property. However, the relief offered by the lender
in the latter part of 1995 was not sufficient to improve the operating results
for the Partnership. Largely as a result of the economic problems in Orange
County, the net loss from operations for the Partnership increased to $189,168--
a $74,025 (64%) increase in loss. Cash basis loss (net loss from operations
less depreciation expense) increased from $47,779 to $122,772--a $74,993 (157%)
increase. In addition, during the fourth quarter, despite the Partnership's
best efforts to enhance the value of the property with tenant improvements and
greater occupancy, it was determined that the surrounding economic conditions of
the area dictated a thorough review of the carrying value of the property.
Using recent comparative building sales data for the general area in which the
building is located, it was determined that a $1,912,727 impairment loss in the
value of the building should be recorded on the Partnership's Statement of Loss
for 1995. This loss is unrealized, and thus does not flow through to the
partners for tax purposes, and may not flow through until the ParkCenter Office
Building is sold or otherwise disposed of. This allowance, in itself, does not
directly
<PAGE>
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT.)
affect the liquidity of the Partnership, which as previously set forth, is
extremely poor. This impairment in value means that the equity of the
Partnership is now a deficit, and the sale of the Santa Ana property would
probably result in less proceeds than what is currently outstanding on the first
deed of trust attached to the building.
In February 1996, the Partnership failed to make the first payment due
following the debt relief period granted by the holder of the first deed of
trust. The Partnership again approached the holder of the first deed of trust
to attempt to obtain additional debt relief. The holder of the note declined to
provide additional relief, and demanded immediate payment of the installment due
to prevent immediate foreclosure of the property. The Partnership met this
demand and default provisions were not instituted. The Partnership projects
that additional cash advances will be necessary from the General Partner, or one
of its affiliates, in order to prevent an additional liquidity crisis in April
1996 when property taxes become due on the property. The General Partner has
made no commitment at this time concerning the availability of future cash
advances to the Partnership. The Partnership will continue to seek relief from
the debt holder, while at the same time seeking to enhance the value of the
property by increasing occupancy and contracting long term leases. Failure to
obtain additional funding from the General Partner, relief from the lender, or
significantly improved operations could result in the eventual loss of the
building through foreclosure proceedings.
Management intends upon increasing occupancy at the Santa Ana property by
offering concessions to potential long term tenants (such as free rent, no
security deposit requirement, generous leasehold improvement allowances) and by
offering to pay local brokers a higher commission for bringing in qualified,
long-term tenants. Although these plans by the Company are intended to enable
it to operate in such a manner to overcome its financial difficulties, there is
still no assurance that these plans will be successful in achieving that goal.
Thus, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to operate as a going
concern within the next twelve months, or even beyond that period.
During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership did not make
distributions to limited partners or pay General Partner management fees, in an
attempt to rebuild cash reserves. Distributions are determined by management
based on cash flow and the liquidity position of the Partnership.
<PAGE>
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT.)
Management uses cash as its primary measure of a partnership's liquidity. The
amount of cash that represents adequate liquidity for a real estate limited
partnership depends on several factors. Among them are:
1. Relative risk of the partnership;
2. Condition of the partnership's properties;
3. Time in the partnership's life cycle (e.g., money-raising,
acquisition, operating or disposition phase); and
4. Partner distributions.
Due to the large amount of vacancies, general economic problems in the area,
and an increase in maintenance and repair expenses at the Santa Ana property,
the 3% reserve remained depleted during 1995. In addition, the General Partner
has made loans to the Partnership and deferred collection of miscellaneous
amounts owed to it by the Partnership. For this reason, there were no
distributions made to the limited partners during the year. It is the
Partnership's intention to eliminate partner distributions until such time as
the reserves are built back up to acceptable levels and various deferred
liabilities due to the Advisor and its affiliates are paid. It is uncertain at
this point how long it will take the Partnership to rebuild cash reserves and
operate profitably on a cash basis; however, the possibility of partners
receiving future cash distributions or a significant portion of their original
investment back is considered remote. The Partnership's ability to meet cash
requirements in the short-run is dependent upon the willingness of the General
Partner and its affiliates to defer collection of amounts due for property
management fees and overhead allocations, advance cash as needed for ongoing
operating expenses, and the stabilization of the tenant base and rental rates at
the Santa Ana property. The ability of the General Partner to make advances to
the Partnership is dependent upon the liquidity of the Parent company of the
General Partner. The General Partner is a wholly owned subsidiary of Associated
Financial Group (the "Parent"), which consolidated, as of December 31, 1995, had
$6.2 million in assets, $2.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $3.3
million in equity, and had net income of $.2 million for the year ended December
31, 1995. In addition, the General Partner must be willing to make advances,
and as of December 31, 1995, the General Partner has no future commitments to do
so.
In the long run, the Partnership's cash requirements will be further
affected by the need to pay off the Deed of Trust that secures the Santa Ana
property. This note is due on January 1, 2000, and is projected to have a
balance of approximately $1,550,000 at that time. A sale or refinance of the
property will be necessary prior to that date.
The San Marcos property has no debt financing and their are currently no
plans by the
<PAGE>
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS(CONT.)
Partnership or Associated Planners Realty Income Fund to seek financing on that
jointly owned property. In the short-term, the fact that this property has a
quality tenant and operates under a triple net lease, allows the Partnership to
collect a nominal amount of cash from the operations of this Property. In the
long-run, the Partnership expects to benefit from the sale of this property when
it is sold. The General Partner anticipates that the San Marcos property will
be sold prior to the year 2000.
The condition of the properties is relatively good, therefore there are no
unusually large capital improvements or repair costs that would severely deplete
the cash reserves.
As previously discussed, the Partnership has a 10% interest in a building in
San Marcos, California. Subsequent to year-end, the building was leased to a
tenant at a rate 70% of the previous rental rate. Because the Partnership has
such a small percentage interest in this property, the decrease in rent results
in only a $750 per month decrease in cash flow. This particular decrease is not
expected to have a material impact on operations.
The Tax Reform Acts of 1986 and 1987 and the Revenue Reconciliation Acts of 1990
and 1993 did not have a material impact on the Partnership's operations.
During the years of the Partnership's existence, inflationary pressures in
the U.S. economy have been minimal, and this has been consistent with the
experience of the Partnership in operating rental real estate in California.
The Partnership has several clauses in its leases with some of its properties'
tenants that will help alleviate some of the negative impact of inflation.
However, the lack of inflation is hurting the Partnership due to the stagnation
of office rental rates.
There are currently no plans for any material renovation, improvement or
further development of the properties.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 1995 VS. 1994
Operations for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 reflect full years
of rental activities for the Partnership's properties. For the year ended
December 31, 1995, the return on funds invested in property was (1.8%) vs. (.2%)
in calendar 1994.
As previously discussed, poor economic conditions resulted in a $27,729
(10.2%) decrease in rental revenue. Of this decrease, approximately 25%
($7,000) was due to decreases in rental rates at the San Marcos and Santa Ana
properties, with the remaining 75% ($20,729) due to increased vacancy at the
properties. As a result of the
<PAGE>
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT.)
debt relief received, interest expense increased $19,312 (11.4%). However, the
provisions of the debt relief did not require an increase in the use of cash as
a result of this. Operating expenses increased $24,027 (25.4%) due to increased
maintenance expenses incurred in order to improve the appearance of the Santa
Ana Building.
The cash basis loss for 1995 was $122,772 vs. $47,779 in 1994. This $74,993
(157%) increase pushed the Partnership close to default on its ability to meet
its current loan and property tax obligations. As previously discussed,
continual support from the lender and/or the General Partner and its affiliates
will be necessary to avoid foreclosure of the Partnership's primary real estate
asset.
The actual net loss for the year ended December 31, 1995 totaled $2,101,895--
a large increase over the $115,143 net loss recognized in 1994. Much of this
loss was due to the impairment loss ($1,912,727) recognized in connection with
the Santa Ana property. This loss is currently non-cash in nature, and cash
provided by operating activities ($4,468) was actually $14,111 higher than the
$9,443 in cash used by operating activities in 1994. However, much of the cash
provided by operations in 1995 was the result of an increase in amounts deferred
by the General Partner, which is not indicative of improved operating results.
During the year ended December 31, 1995, $4,468 in cash was provided by
operating activities. This resulted from an increase in accounts payable of
$70,899 (primarily resulting from an increase in the deferral of payment of
amounts due to the General Partner and affiliates) plus the $71,954 increase in
accrued interest on notes payable (resulting from the relief the Partnership
received in making payments on the debt from September 1995 through January
1996), offset by the net cash basis loss of $122,772 from operations (net loss
plus depreciation expense and impairment loss), and the $16,409 net increase in
receivables and other assets (primarily work in progress pertaining to certain
capital improvements to the Santa Ana Building). There were no investing
activities during the year by the Partnership; in recent years, some cash had
been used for capital improvements to the properties. Financing activities
resulted in a use of cash of $10,125 in connection with the Partnership's debt
on the Santa Ana Building. Cash decreased a net $5,657 as a result of the net
cash used by operating activities and financing activities. As a result, the
net cash at the end of the year was zero.
The number of limited partnership units outstanding remained at 2,061.
<PAGE>
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT.)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 1994 VS. 1993
Operations for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 reflect full years
of rental activities for the Partnership's properties. For the year ended
December 31, 1994, the return on funds invested in property was (.2%) vs. (.1%)
in calendar 1993. As has been the case for several years, the Partnership
realized an overall cash basis net loss due to the administrative costs of
operating the Partnership (cash basis is net income plus an addback of
depreciation expense). Rental income fell $17,298 (6%) due to continuing rental
rate and occupancy problems at the Santa Ana Building. Of the $17,298 decrease
in rental revenue from 1993, we would estimate that $12,000 was due to increased
vacancy at the Santa Ana property, with the balance due to lower overall rental
rates in the area.
Operating expense decreased $22,400 (19%) as a result of less maintenance and
ongoing operating costs due to lower vacancy at the Santa Ana property and lower
property taxes due to some relief granted by the County of Orange in 1994.
The cash basis loss decreased from $54,276 in 1993 to $47,779 in 1994.
Although this did represent a $6,497 (12.0%) decrease, the viability of the
Partnership was dependent upon the General Partner and affiliates waiving
collection of certain fees and reimbursements that it was entitled to. Coupled
with prior year (1991-1993) losses, the cash loss for 1994 continued to put the
Partnership in a mode of extremely low liquidity.
During the year ended December 31, 1994, $9,443 in cash was used in operating
activities. This resulted from a net cash basis loss of $47,779 (net loss plus
depreciation expense), plus the $11,486 decrease in security deposits and
prepaid rents (primarily resulting decrease in occupancy from 85% in 1993 to 73%
in 1994), offset by a increase in accounts payable of $46,235 (primarily
resulting from an increase in the deferral of payment of amounts due to the
General Partner and affiliates), and the $3,887 net increase in receivables and
other assets (primarily work in progress pertaining to certain capital
improvements to the Santa Ana Building). There were no investing activities
during the year by the Partnership; in recent years, some cash had been used for
capital improvements to the properties. Financing activities resulted in a use
of cash of $14,464 in connection with the Partnership's debt on the Santa Ana
Building. Cash decreased a net $23,907 as a result of the net cash used by
operating activities and financing activities. As a result, the net cash at the
end of the year was $5,657.
The number of limited partnership units outstanding remained at 2,061.

(a California limited partnership)
Los Angeles, California
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Associated Planners
Realty Growth Fund (a California limited partnership) as of December 31, 1995
and 1994 and the related statements of loss, partners' equity (deficit), and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995.
We have also audited the schedules listed in the accompanying index. These
financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and schedules are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and
schedules. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Associated Planners Realty
Growth Fund (a California limited partnership), at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Also, in our opinion, the schedules present fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements, the Partnership changed
its method of accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets in 1995.
The accompanying financial statements and schedules have been prepared
assuming that the Partnership will continue as a going concern. As discussed in
the summary of accounting policies, the Partnership has suffered recurring
losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in
regard to these matters are also described in the summary of accounting
policies. The financial statements and schedules do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ASSOCIATED PLANNERS REALTY GROWTH FUND
(a California limited partnership)
Summary of Accounting Policies
Business
Associated Planners Realty Growth Fund (the "Partnership"), a California
limited partnership, was formed on March 9, 1987 under the Revised Limited
Partnership Act of the State of California. The Partnership met its minimum
funding of $1,200,000 on August 29, 1988 and terminated its offering on
September 5, 1989. The Partnership was formed to acquire income-producing
real property throughout the United States with emphasis on properties
located in California and southwestern states. The Partnership intends to
purchase such properties by borrowing up to an aggregate of fifty percent of
the purchase price of such properties and intends to own and operate such
properties for investment over an anticipated holding period of approximately
five to ten years.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements do not give effect to any assets that the partners may
have outside of their interest in the partnership, nor to any personal
obligations, including income taxes, of the partners.
The Partnership's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1995
have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the
realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the
normal course of business. The Company has suffered recurring losses from
operations and has a net capital deficiency of $800,055 at December 31, 1995.
The Partnership plans to seek relief from the debt holder, while at the same
time seeking to enhance the value of the property by increasing occupancy and
contracting long-term leases. Failure to obtain additional funding from the
General Partner, relief from the lender, or significantly improved operations
could result in the eventual loss of the building through foreclosure
proceedings.

Summary of Accounting Policies
Rental Real Estate and Depreciation
Assets are stated at the lower of cost or market. Depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 31.5 to
40 years for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes.
In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of an asset may
be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed. If an
evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated
with the asset would be compared to the carrying amount to determine if a
write-down to market value is required. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 121,
the Partnership would record an impairment in the value of assets when
circumstances and surrounding facts dictated that the market value of the
property had permanently declined below cost and book value could not
possibly be recovered upon future sale. Prior to 1995, there were no
circumstances or facts that dictated the recording of an impairment in
value.
Loan Origination Fees
Loan origination fees are capitalized and amortized over the life of the loan.
Lease Commissions
Lease commissions which are paid to real estate brokers for locating tenants are
capitalized and amortized over the life of the lease.
Rental Revenue
Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis to the extent that rental
revenue is deemed collectible.
Statements of Cash Flows
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Partnership considers cash in
the bank and all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities
of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Nature of Partnership
The Partnership began accepting subscriptions in October 1987 and closed the
offering on September 5, 1989. The Partnership began operations in
September 1988.
Under the terms of the partnership agreement, the General Partners (West
Coast Realty Advisors, Inc., and W. Thomas Maudlin, Jr.) are entitled to cash
distributions from 10% to 15%. The General Partners are also entitled to net
income (loss) allocations varying from 1% to 15% in accordance with the
partnership agreement. Further, the General Partners will receive acquisition
fees for locating and negotiating the purchase of rental real estate, management
fees for operating the Partnership and a commission on the sale of the
partnership properties.
2. Rental Real Estate
The Partnership owns the following two rental real estate properties, one
wholly-owned and the second, a 10% undivided interest:
Acquisition
Location (Property Name) Date Purchased Cost
Santa Ana, California November 17, 1989 $3,228,102

2. Rental Real Estate (Continued)
A significant portion of the Partnership's rental revenue was earned from
tenants whose individual rents represent more than 10% of total rental
revenue. Specifically:
Two tenants accounted for 14% and 41% in 1995;
Two tenants accounted for 11% and 43% in 1994;
Two tenants accounted for 11% and 43% in 1993.
In December 1994, the County of Orange (where the Santa Ana Building
is located) declared bankruptcy due to large losses in connection with
unauthorized derivative and bond investment activity. The County's
problems had a trickle down effect on the entire area as a large number of
businesses dependent upon County purchases went out of business or
moved away. This put further pressure on all commercial property
owners to further lower rents to attract or retain tenants. The Partnership
saw the negative cash flow situation on the Santa Ana Building worsen as
a result of these problems.
During 1995, the property tax assessment on the Santa Ana, California office
building was significantly reduced. It is the intention of the General Partner
to sell the Santa Ana property when it is reasonably feasible. The Partnership
determined that the total expected future cash flows from operations and
disposition of the property are less than the carrying value of the property.
Therefore the property was deemed to be impaired. As a result, an
impairment loss of $1,912,727 was recorded, measured as the amount by which
the carrying amount of the asset exceeded its fair value less cost to sell.
Fair value was determined based on comparable sales. The Partnership intends to
continue to annually assess the carrying values of its long-lived assets.
3. Future Minimum Rental Income
As of December 31, 1995, future minimum rental income under existing leases,
excluding month to month rental agreements, that have remaining
noncancelable terms in excess of one year are as follows:
Amount
1996 $179,124
1997 48,930
1998 10,383
$238,437
Future minimum rental income does not include lease renewals or new leases
that may result after a noncancelable lease expires.

Notes to Financial Statements
5. Note Payable
The Partnership has a 9.75% promissory note payable secured by a Deed of
Trust. This note is due January 1, 2000, and provides significant prepayment
penalties. Payments are made in monthly installments of $15,088 including
principal and interest. The outstanding balance is $1,676,385 and $1,614,884 at
December 31, 1995 and 1994.
The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value of notes payable
because the interest rates approximate the borrowing rates currently available
for mortgage loans with similar terms and average maturities.
The aggregate annual future maturities at December 31, 1995 are as follows:
Amount
1996 $16,811
1997 20,129
1998 22,182
1999 24,443
2000 1,592,820
Total $1,676,385
6. Net Loss and Cash Distributions Per Limited Partnership Unit
The Net Loss per Limited Partnership Unit was computed in accordance with
the partnership agreement using the weighted average number of outstanding
Limited Partnership Units of 2,061 for 1995, 1994 and 1993.
No distributions were made in 1995, 1994 or 1993.
7. Fourth Quarter Adjustment
In the fourth quarter of 1995 the Partnership recorded an adjustment to the
carrying value of rental real estate to recognize an impairment loss of
$1,912,727 as discussed in Note 2.

8. Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information
Cash paid during the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 for
interest was $117,044, $168,731 and $159,565.
Noncash investing and financing activities:
Notes payable was increased by $71,954 of accrued interest relating to a
deferral of loan payments during 1995.
9. New Accounting Pronouncements
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
of" (SFAS No. 121) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995. The new standard establishes new guidelines regarding
when impairment losses on long-lived assets, which include plant and
equipment, and certain identifiable intangible assets, should be recognized and
how impairment losses should be measured. The Partnership has elected the
early adoption of SFAS No. 121. An impairment loss of $1,912,727 was
recorded in the statement of loss for the year ended December 31, 1995.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 121, the partnership was not aware of any
facts or circumstances that dictated the recordation of an impairment in
value of the Santa Ana Property. The effect of regional factors that
affected the value of the Santa Ana Property did not become known to
management until the finalization of the property tax reassessment process
December 1995.
